A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...

Inflammatory gut bacteria that carry proteins structurally similar to myelin may trigger the development and progression of ...

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy production and synaptic plasticity, the physical process of learning in the ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

New research from reveals that the gut microbiome regulates the body's diurnal (day-night) rhythms in stress hormones. Depletion of gut microbiota results in disruptions in the brain's core circadian ...

Scientists have discovered 13 new bacteria species in unique foods and environments that could transform health and the environment.

After eight weeks with a new set of gut microbes, mice can begin to show brain gene-activity patterns that resemble the ...
